SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Oct. 25, 2001
- Occam Network, Inc., developer of scalable,
cost-effective, packet-based voice and broadband local loop solutions,
today announced the opening of its third research and development
center located at 1318 Redwood Way in Petaluma, Calif.
The new facility houses a team of hardware and software engineers
focused on developing the company's Broadband Loop Carriers, a new
category of local loop product that integrates the functionality
of a Digital Loop Carrier (DLC), a DSL Access Multiplexer (DSLAM),
and a media gateway into a single environmentally hardened compact
platform that can be easily located in remote terminals.
"Occam selected Petaluma, the heart of the Telecom Valley, because it is a hotbed of telecommunications activity," said Kumar Shah, Occam president and CEO. "There is a large, experienced talent pool from which we can draw, enabling us to accommodate the rapid growth we have projected."
Ali Taslimi, senior director of engineering and general manager, heads the new R&D facility. The company is actively recruiting hardware and software engineers for the Petaluma R&D center. Interested parties may submit resumes to Occam via email at jobs@occamnetworks.com or via fax at +1 805.692.6739.
